Available for both rooted and non-rooted devices, QuickSettings adds
to your Android device’s notification shade a fixed widget, tapping
which reveals the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean-style quick settings menu. Now
the stock Quick Settings menu in 4.2 Jelly Bean only features shortcuts
whereas this this widget has one-tap toggles that also act like
shortcuts to associated menu.
Tapping the required power toggle triggers the action associated with
it, whereas long pressing takes you to its corresponding settings
screen.
Below is the list of all the toggles offered by the panel by default:

Airplane

Wi-Fi

Bluetooth

Data

GPS

Sync

Rotation

Brightness

Torch

Ringer Mode

Settings (system)

NFC

Kill tasks

Dim screen

Wake lock

Configure

Besides selecting toggles that you want displayed within in the
panel, you can specify the exact order in which they should appear. In
addition, the app lets you customize the panel layout in terms of the
number of toggles that should show in a single row. You can opt to have
3-5 toggles per row. The Kill Tasks feature mentioned above appears to
be a task manager of sorts, as it lets you quickly kill low priority
tasks running in the background with a tap.
Apart from all the aforementioned power toggles, the app supports
adding custom shortcut to the panel. Using this particular feature, you
may add shortcuts to as many different apps as required. Oddly enough,
the app doesn’t allow modifying the order of these shortcuts on the
panel, meaning that you’ll have to make do with accessing your favorite
app shortcuts from below the power toggles.

QuickSettings is available in the Play Store as a free app that
requires Android 2.3 Gingerbread or higher to run. It should be
mentioned here that several aforementioned features are locked in the
free version of the app and can be unlocked through in-app purchases.
